TypeScript Errors Caused by vitest Configuration in Vue App Build

[MooseSaeed]

Issue Description:

Encountering TypeScript errors related to the vue-router/auto when building a fresh Vue 3 application created with npm create vue@latest. The errors occur specifically with the createRouter and createWebHistory functions.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a fresh Vue app using npm create vue@latest with the below configuration.

2. Install and configure unplugin-vue-router.
3. Run npm run build.
4. Observe the TypeScript errors in the terminal.

Expected Behavior:

The Vue application should build successfully without any TypeScript errors related to the vue-router/auto.

Actual Behavior:

Encountering TypeScript errors

src/router/index.ts:1:10 - error TS2305: Module '"vue-router/auto"' has no exported member 'createRouter'.

1 import { createRouter, createWebHistory } from 'vue-router/auto'
           ~~~~~~~~~~~~

src/router/index.ts:1:24 - error TS2305: Module '"vue-router/auto"' has no exported member 'createWebHistory'.

1 import { createRouter, createWebHistory } from 'vue-router/auto'
                         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Additional Context:

The errors are resolved by removing the path configuration for Vitest from tsconfig.json, which was added automatically during the creation of the Vue app.

    {
      "path": "./tsconfig.vitest.json"
    }

I’m interested in the resolution of this config issue to add it to docs but it doesn’t seem to be about the code, just a config issue

I can confirm this issue with Quasar (based on vue3), but I don't use vitest.

I was able to make the npm create vue@latest work by adding
/// <reference types="unplugin-vue-router/client" /> to env.d.ts instead of using the compilerOptions.types inside tsconfig
e.g.

/// <reference types="vite/client" />
/// <reference types="unplugin-vue-router/client" />

I'm experiencing the same issue in Vue.js and Vite projects. Has anyone found a solution?

Does anybody have a solution for this? I am still having problems and the solutions listed do not work.

Thanks @94726 ! I adapted the docs
